The book discusses sustainable development in Ecuador's agricultural sector through three case studies. It explores the production and marketing of Cavendish banana pulp as a sustainable alternative for the INSANC company, marketing strategies for fresh and processed passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) which provide economic alternatives for producers in the Vega Rivera area, and the establishment of the first certified organic egg production project in the southern region of the country, located in La Libertad parish, Las Lajas canton, El Oro province. The book presents detailed methodologies and analyses for each case, aiming to provide practical strategies for sustainable agricultural production.

Contemporary scholars debate the factors driving despotic labour conditions across the world economy. Some emphasize the dominance of global market imperatives and others highlight the market's reliance upon extra-economic coercion and state violence. At the Margins of the Global Market engages in this debate through a comparative and world-historical analysis of the labour regimes of three global commodity-producing subregions of rural Colombia: the coffee region of Viejo Caldas, the banana region of Urabá, and the coca/cocaine region of the Caguán. By drawing upon insights from labour regimes, global commodity chains, and world historical sociology, this book offers a novel understanding of the broad range of factors - local, national, global, and interregional - that shape labour conditions on the ground in Colombia. In doing so, it offers a critical new framework for analysing labour and development dynamics that exist at the margins of the global market.
